What is a College of Nursing Microcampus?

A College of Nursing microcampus will be a University of Arizona-designated space on the campus of a partner university that provides students with a connection to Arizona in their countries. The following criteria help define a microcampus.

Shared Campus: The partner university allows use of its physical campus and classrooms, and provides a designated space for the University of Arizona.

Shared Students: Students maintain their student status at the partner university while enrolled in for-credit Arizona courses offered on location at the partner university.

Shared Tuition: Arizona tuition is shared with the partner institution.

Affordable:  Arizona program fees are set near in-state tuition rates to increase access and affordability and generate scale.

Full Degrees: Students earn a University of Arizona degree, either as a dual degree with the partner university, or a stand-alone degree.

University of Arizona Directed: Each micro-campus has a locally-based Arizona administrator to oversee program delivery, ensure the provision of student services, enforce Arizona academic integrity standards, promote joint research, and support Arizona faculty.

Research Incubation: The microcampus serves as a hub for faculty collaboration and capacity building, including joint research and grant proposals.
